Security Tips for Traveling with Tech Gear
securitas writes "Many Slashdotters will be traveling during the next week and PC World has an article about how to travel with tech gear with a minimum of security hassles. The Transport Security Administration maintains an allowable and banned items list (PDF) that you might want to check. Make sure that you have fully charged batteries for any tech gifts you received. I've had big hassles with all the tech gear that I routinely carry, especially when combining business trips with a vacation. One security screener even asked me to log in, decrypt and look at files on my notebook's desktop, which was unnecessarily invasive (not to mention against my then-employer's security policy). He settled for viewing the secure login screen 'to make sure it worked.' Any other horror stories out there?"
Linux is on the list of banned items. Windows only folks.
There only needs to be one rule, actually. If you are raghead, you can't get on the fucking plane.
Problem solved - no more terrorism using airplanes.
Why do you post anonymously you dumb coward. Yes I called you a dumb coward. Only a dumb fool in this century would put another human being down because of his race. You need to seriously take time out to think about the post you just made or at least see a shrink. Why call Jews names. How would you like it if someone called you a trailer trash crackhead only because they believed that your race makes you one and just the mere fact that your skin happens to be white makes you an inferior scum that should be wiped off the face of the earth. Seriously use you brain (if you have one) before you ever say or post anything racist again you DUMB FOOL!!!

You should add a linebreak to your sig.
Unlike the teller, you don't have to comply. Don't expect to get on the flight, though. p Personally, I often feel like punching people who get all upset at the security checkpoint and cause delays that could have been avoided. Just do what the friggin' Mr. Security tells you to do and we'll be safer and don't have to stand in line forever.
The owls are not what they seem
If I buy a ticket now and in 2 months when I go to get on the flight, get up to the security gate and suddenly find out that new security measures require anal cavity searches for all passengers, what am I to do?
This!
nice to see the editors and moderators agreeing to this blatant copyright infringement. iguess on slashdot, piracy is evil, except when its done here.
